Until we meet again; Sequal to Am I just a Shadow?
A/N: I decided it would be a good idea to write a sequal to Am I just a Shadow? Since I have alot of time on my hands these days I decided I should. ^_^ Well feedback is welcomed and so are flames. Flames are thrown into the fire and used to keep me nice and warm for the Winter. But by all means if you find something wrong with the plot or boring please tell me and I'll try and spruse it up a bit. Oh and if you didn't read Am I just a Shadow? you'll be quite confused.

Ahem..And another note: HIEI IS A LITTLE OUT OF CHARACTER IN THIS BECAUSE
HES STILL FEELING THE LOSS OF SISCO!
Ye be warned..
Until we meet again; Sequal to Am I just a Shadow?
The wind swept threw his black locks of hair tossing it gently around his handsome face. He was small and slenderly built, cloaked in black with a white scarf around his shoulders. His eyes were crimson and distant and his childish face held deep thought to it as he stared longingly out into the open ocean. The waves crashed simutationsly against the beach, soothing him and causing the demon to relax into the oak tree he had seated himself in.
How many times had he come to this place? he wondered. How many times had he sat and stared sadly into the sea green waves of the ocean and wished they'd sweep him away? How many times had he let his mind wander and think about her?
Hiei let out a shuddering breath and closed his crimson eyes.
No, he thought, I must be strong. I mustin let these thoughts overturn me...But...I miss her...
His eyes opened and they stared into the ocean. Tears sprang to his eyes and he fought them back ferciously. Hiei smiled softly, sadly, as he remebered her.
Not very tall, but neither was he. Short chestnut hair that fell enchantingly around her soft gentle face. Her eyes....so green that they reminded him of the forest in the Spring. Of life. Yes...she had been Elven, yet Demon all at once. A Forbidden Child like himself. But she was gone now...no reason to ponder on what could have been.
He forced himself to stand and lept from the tree and landed gracefully on the grassy Earth. He straightend and lowered his eyes to the ground. He noted absently that the grass was lush and well kept and he almost found the urge to reach down and stroke it. But he held back this sensation and began to walk.
Where? he had no idea. Wherever his feet would take him. Why? he didn't know that either.
Of the late he hadn't cared much about anything. No...it wasn't that he didn't feel loved or anything. Yuusuke and the others were always there talking with him and making him have fun. And Yukina...
A small smile spread across his lips. He had spent alot of time with his sister, Yukina. Ever since she find out who he was to her. She had cherished it dearly and the two and talked and laughed together like a real family. But still...ever since the girl...
He forced himself not to think about it and raised his eyes on the path that he walked.
Maybe I should see Yukina-sama, he thought blankly. I haven't spoken with her for a day or so, I'm sure she misses me...
Hiei sighed softly then smiled to himself. He broke into a run and his slender body flew like the wind across the plains. He was a small blurr, leaping from place to place as he made his way toward Genkai's temple, but the ningens were unable to detect him with their slow eyes.
It only took him a good five minutes to reach Genkai's temple. He came to a halt infront of it. It was old, but still intact. The building was a old cream color and the shingles were red and gave the old temple a almost young look to it. A patio was made of wood and small pots of flowers were arranged neatly on them, thanks to Yukina and Kurama.
Hiei approached the temple slowly and stepped nimbly up the stairs. He tilted his head slightly as he reached the door and slid it open quietly.
"Konniciwa, Hiei." came a old raspy voice. Hiei turned his head quickly to see a old woman. Her hair was a faded pink and her face was lined deeply with age. But her brown eyes were filled with life that dazzeld her face proudly.
"Konniciwa, Genkai..." Hiei said softly. "Is Yukina here?" he asked hopefully.
"Iie, Yukina is with Kuwabara at the moment. She just left about ten minutes ago." Her old face broke into a mock grin at Hiei's annoyed look. "Learn to like Kuwabara. He may be a big stupid oaf but your sister is in love with him. Don't be surprised if she and Kuwabara get married."
"Hn," Hiei grunted, "That'll be the death of me." He smiled gently of his own joke. Genkai frowned slightly, not amused. Her eyes turned serious as she stuided Hiei's face.
"Hiei..." she began softly. "Are you alright?"
Hiei was startled at this and blinked rapidly as he stared at her. "Hai...why wouldn't I?" he asked suspicously. Genkai grunted and turned to leave.
"Why don't you go speak with Kurama. I don't have any patiants at the moment to speak with you." she said sincerly. Hiei blinked after her in confusion then glared. He muttered and left with a grunt and started towards Kurama's school.
When he reached Kurama's school they were beginning to leave. Hiei side- stepped all of the ningens that rushed passed him in a whirl, almost knocking the five foot Demon off his feet. A rather large boy ran into him and Hiei almost fell over but he quickly caught his balance and glared at the boy.
"Eh, sorry." the kid said, looking at him stupidly. "I've never seen you around here before, new kid?"
"Hn." Hiei grunted and pushed past the boy. The kid shrugged and countined on his way. Hiei grumbled to himself until he located Kurama's ki and followed it impatiantly. He squirmed his way between the ningens until he found a unmistakeable mop of bright red hair...surrounded by dozens of girls squealing with delight as they tugged on Kurama's shirt pleading something about going on a date with them.
Hiei rolled his eyes as he approached Kurama. The red head looked at him giving the smaller Demon a 'I'm-going-to-go-insane" type of look. He forced a quick grin and apologized repeatly to the many girls that he had to leave and go home to do his homework. Kurama finally reached Hiei and smiled down at him.
"Hello, Hiei-chan." he said.
"Hn..." Hiei replied, narrowing his eyes.
"What brings you here, Hiei?" Kurama asked. He urged Hiei to start walking and they did. Hiei stuffed his hands into his pockets and shrugged. "Hmm...." Kurama mused, "You know, Hiei...I've been thinking...."
Hiei's eyes shot around to glare distastefully at the kitsune. "Hn, I've learned from experiance that when you've been thinking it results in me doing something against my will.." Hiei said darkly.
Kurama chuckled merrily. "Yes, yes...but Hiei, you're always so bored-"
"No I'm not." Hiei shot in glumly.
Kurama ignored him and countined unphased, "I've been thinking you should start coming to school with me and the others." Hiei stopped dead in his tracks giving Kurama a look of horror.
"You want me to what?" he hissed.
Kurama smiled innocently. "It was just a suggestion...I mean, I've already talked it threw with Yukina and she wants to come. Infact, shes starting on Monday." A sly grin broke across Kurama's face.
Hiei muttered darkly. "You know, kitsune...you know that if Yukina comes I have no choice but to come." Hiei said. "You set me up!"
"Why, Hiei," Kurama said sadly.. "I'm hurt that you'd think that!" Kurama forced mock sadness onto his handsome face causing Hiei to grunt in disgust.
"You sicken me, Kurama." Hiei said. Kurama smiled.
"Will you though, Hiei-chan?" Kurama asked quietly.
"Hn...I don't really have much of a choice now, do I?" Hiei asked darkly. Kurama only laughed gently and looked ahead with a grin on his face.
"Why Hiei, what makes you think that?" he asked seriously.
"I'm not about to let my sister come to a ningen school with Kuwabara, without me watching her and a bunch of stupid ningens surrondering her!" Hiei spat. Kurama winced slightly. Hiei glared at him. "You're always there to mess things up, arn't you Kurama?" he asked bitterly.
Kurama looked at Hiei slowly. This time his face was filled with hurt and he lowered his emerald eyes to the ground quickly.
"I'm sorry, Hiei...I didn't think that you'd get mad..." Kurama muttered. "I thought it would be fun for you and Yukina...you're always so cooped up in Genkai-sama's Temple..." Kurama sighed softly. "I'm sorry."
"Hn.." Hiei nudged Kurama gently with his elbow. "Don't be like that, kitsune." Hiei said. "I suppose its for the better...but if this school thing turns out to be not to my liking, I'm going to quit...got it?"
"Yes...thank you Hiei." Kurama said smiling. "Would you like to come to my house with me, Hiei?"
"Hn.."
Kurama smiled to himself. Hiei is so hard to understand sometimes, the kitsune thought, but I know hes getting better. Hopefully this school thing will be better for him. Yes...I hope to Kami it does..
When they reached Kurama's house Hiei dissappeard. Kurama smiled knowingly and entered.
"Shuuichi, dear how was your day?" Shori asked lovingly. She embraced her son warmly and Kurama returned the embrace gratefully.
"Lots of homework, mother." Kurama said, kissing her on the cheek. "May I be excused to go upstairs and complete it?"
"Of course dear!" Shori said smiling. "Now be down for dinner in about twenty minutes, okay?"
"Yes mother." Kurama said softly, kissing her on the cheek again. He removed his shoes and started upstairs quickly to let Hiei in. Kurama entered his bedroom and closed the door. His emerald eyes drifted to the window and outside in the tree that was visible from his room was Hiei sitting quietly. Kurama moved to the window and opened it. A breeze of warm air shot into the room and Kurama smiled warmly.
Hiei leapt into the room and straightend himself. He side glanced at Kurama then moved over to his bed and sat down comftorbly.
"I don't see why you dont just use the door." Kurama said blinking.
"Your mother is too fond of me." Hiei grumbled. "Shes always telling me on how 'cute' I am. Which I not." he added quickly. Kurama only smiled softly and sat down at his desk. He pulled out a mound of books and set them on the table. The red head glared slightly at him but didn't say anything. "Kitsune...why do you bother?" Hiei asked.
"Hmm?" Kurama asked. He pulled out a pencil and began working on Math.
"With doing that...what is it called...?"
"Homework?" Kurama offered. "I do it to please my mother..plus its not even hard." Kurama held up a piece of paper and showed it to Hiei. "I'm sure even you can figure it out." Hiei studied it blankly. Kurama turned the paper to look at it himself then back at Hiei. "Don't you know how to do this?" he asked.
"What is it?" Hiei asked.
Kurama's eyes widend slightly. "Are you serious?"
Hiei rolled his eyes. "And you were going to send me to school without me even knowing how to do Math. Kitsune no baka." Hiei stood and yawned. He crossed his arms and moved over to the window and stared out it. He sighed softly.
"Hiei?" Kurama asked, turning in his chair to look at his friend. "Are you alright?"
"Hn, you and Genkai both." Hiei grunted and closed his eyes. "I'm fine...just...thinking."
"About her?" Kurama asked sadly.
"Hm..yes..about her..." Hiei opened his eyes and let in a shuddering breath. God, how he missed her. His eyes threatend to spill tears again and he forced them down. "I'm...going to go.." Hiei said, his voice was choked with tears and he fought to control his voice.
"I..I..want to be alone.."
"Hiei," Kurama said. He stood and walked over to Hiei and wrapped an arm around his shoulders gently. "I wan't you to stay here with me tonight...please?" he said. Hiei looked at the red-head, his eyes wavering with tears.
"Why?" Hiei asked quietly.
"I'm worried about you...so please...stay with me tonight?" Kurama asked again.
"What will your mother say?" Hiei asked.
"She doesn't need to know." Kurama answered quietly. "Will you, please?"
"Hn..." Hiei looked away, his arms wrapped tightly about himself. "As long as she doesn't know.."
"Okay Hiei...here..I'll get you some pajamas to wear alright..." Kurama moved over to his closet and pulled out a black long sleeve shirt and baggy grey pants. "They might be a little big on you, but I suppose thats a good, yes?" Kurama asked, smiling.
Hiei took them and sighed softly with a short nod.
"It'll be okay, Hiei, don't worry." Kurama said. Hiei didn't say anything so Kurama asked rather reluctantly, "Are you hungry?"
"No." Hiei said, his voice distant and blank.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Okay...well I have to go eat with my mother, I'll be back soon. Don't leave, please?"
Kurama asked almost painfully.
"I promise..." Hiei answered. Kurama squeezed the demons shoulders tightly for a moment then started downstairs. Hiei sighed softly then closed the window and changed into the pajamas that Kurama have gave to him. He self-conciously set his clothes on the chair and sat down against the wall under the window. Hiei blinked away tears and pulled his knees into his chest, wrapping his arms tightly around them. "Thank you, Kurama." he whispered softly and rested his head on his knees. Within in a few moments he had fallen into a deep sleep.
~*~Twenty Minutes Later~*~
Kurama opened the door slowly and spotted Hiei sleeping soundlessly under the window. Kurama smiled crookedly and walked over to Hiei and scooped him up gently in his arms. As quietly and gently as he could he laid the Fire Demon onto his bed and covered him with the blankets.
The red head stuided Hiei's innocent face for a moment then changed into his own pajamas. When he was done he sighed almost sadly and looked at Hiei again.
"Please get better, Hiei-chan." he mutterd. The fox demon pulled a cot out from under his bed and gathered a few extra blankets and a pillow onto it. Kurama shut off the light smiling softly and laid down on the cot. "Kami, please, make Hiei better." Kurama whispred softly. He closed his eyes and rolled onto his side and soon sleep claimed him.
